Session 4 - SLP on Distribution and Supply Chain - Pull System and Replenishment
Most companies realize that as long as the end consumer has not bought, nobody has sold. The biggest clot in the supply chain - the majority of the inventories - are usually found in the distribution stage.

Session 5 - SLP on Marketing - Unrefusable Offers and Market Segmentation

"Many thanks for an excellent guide to TOC as these CDs really are!"

"We have to grapple with the needs of high product integrity and competitive pressure for time to market. In short, our success depends on the ability to use development time effectively - the reason why we are looking at the Critical Chain Project Management Method. Goldratt‘s ‘Critical Chain‘ novel is a good starting point, but we needed something to help us to explore the foundations of the method. I found the TOC-SLP an effective ‘next step‘ and consider it highly suitable for colleagues - especially those who never get around to reading many books!

"It was very useful to be able to dip into and out of the course as time permitted. After running through the programme once, I found it invaluable to be able to go back to key modules and refresh my memory in the context of dealing with real problems. This has been very important to me as I have been trying to apply TOC principles in novel areas. A more traditional seminar series would not have been nearly so useful."
Richard Webster
Production Manager
Nelson Sheetmetal Engineering Ltd.
“I found the TOC-SLP to be of great use as it gave me the freedom and flexibility to learn at my leisure. I have also found it useful to be able to review sections of it from time to time. Also, as there is so much information to take in, I think the TOC-SLP is of more use than a seminar because it allows you to fully understand each section at a time and go back over any parts you didn‘t understand the first time around.

"As a consultant keen to bill my time to clients wherever possible I found the self paced learning much more convenient than traditional classroom learning. In addition the CDs form a handy reference enabling me to refresh my experience of TOC selectively by topic whenever I need to."
Dennis Rooney
Director of Product Engineering
National Mfg. Co.
"I found the process of viewing the modules on my PC at my own pace to work very good for me. In many ways it is better than going to a seminar, because I can go back over a section to get more info a second or third time.
I did not go through the modules in order. I skipped over the project mgt because I do project mgt all the time and didn‘t think TOC had anything to offer that I didn‘t already know. Well, I was wrong about that! This is the module that I have studied the most. I am now preparing to teach the TOC project mgt concepts to people in my company. I will start out with the people who work on new product development and fully expect to be asked to expand to include all of top mgt, Information Services, maintenance, and possible our sales mgt. The power of TOC project mgt can easily be demonstrated and adapted.
The measurement module outlines concepts for justifying investments in equipment and a way to look at make/buy decisions that I believe can have a huge immediate positive impact. The TOC method allows me to make better decisions, but they are controversial because the cost methods have been used for so long. I started viewing the sales module with little interest in sales, but it was the next CD so I started. This module has a lot of the answers I was looking for to help other people understand the bottom line results I was promoting in the make/buy decisions.
Through the years I have gone to numerous seminars. Quite often I come away thinking I paid too much and learned very little. The TOC Self Learning Programs are far better than any seminar I have ever been to. Each module has important, powerful concepts that can be used even if the topic is not in my area of influence.
The building of current reality trees is still very difficult for me. This area could use more work at least for me. The TOC methods are working for me and the SLP is a very good way to learn them. Thank you for your help. The CD‘s are easy to understand and give me a better way to look at many decisions that I make."
Robert Wotherspoon

"This is a great course! The TOC Self Learning Programs are well worth the investment and I would suggest it for those who are serious about looking at TOC."
